Introduction
Hello, fellow developers! I'm excited to share my latest project: a classic Tic-Tac-Toe Game. This project is a great way to practice your JavaScript skills, particularly in handling game logic, DOM manipulation, and user interactions. Whether you're just getting started with JavaScript or looking for a fun challenge, this Tic-Tac-Toe game is perfect for honing your skills.
Project Overview
The Tic-Tac-Toe Game is a web-based implementation of the popular two-player game. The project showcases how to create interactive elements, manage game state, and implement simple AI logic. The game is designed to be fully responsive, making it playable on both desktop and mobile devices.
Features
- Two-Player Mode: Play with a friend on the same device.
- Game Logic: Automatically checks for a winner or a draw after each move.
- Reset Functionality: Easily restart the game at any point.
- Responsive Design: The game layout adapts to different screen sizes, providing a consistent experience on all devices.
Technologies Used
- HTML: Structures the game interface.
- CSS: Styles the game board, buttons, and other UI elements.
- JavaScript: Manages the game logic, including player turns, win conditions, and resetting the game.

The index.html
file sets up the structure of the Tic-Tac-Toe game, including the game board and control buttons. Here’s a snippet:

JavaScript
The script.js
file manages the game logic, including handling player turns, checking for a winner, and resetting the game. Here’s a snippet:
let boxes = document.querySelectorAll(".box");
let resetBtn = document.querySelector("#reset-btn");
let newGameBtn = document.querySelector("#new-btn");
let msgContainer = document.querySelector(".msg-container");
let msg = document.querySelector("#msg");
let turnO = true; //playerX, playerO
let count = 0; //To Track Draw
const winPatterns = [
[0, 1, 2],
[0, 3, 6],
[0, 4, 8],
[1, 4, 7],
[2, 5, 8],
[2, 4, 6],
[3, 4, 5],
[6, 7, 8],
];
const resetGame = () => {
turnO = true;
count = 0;
enableBoxes();
msgContainer.classList.add("hide");
};
boxes.forEach((box) => {
box.addEventListener("click", () => {
if (turnO) {
//playerO
box.innerText = "O";
turnO = false;
} else {
//playerX
box.innerText = "X";
turnO = true;
}
box.disabled = true;
count++;
let isWinner = checkWinner();
if (count === 9 && !isWinner) {
gameDraw();
}
});
});
const gameDraw = () => {
msg.innerText = `Game was a Draw.`;
msgContainer.classList.remove("hide");
disableBoxes();
};
const disableBoxes = () => {
for (let box of boxes) {
box.disabled = true;
}
};
const enableBoxes = () => {
for (let box of boxes) {
box.disabled = false;
box.innerText = "";
}
};
const showWinner = (winner) => {
msg.innerText = `Congratulations, Winner is ${winner}`;
msgContainer.classList.remove("hide");
disableBoxes();
};
const checkWinner = () => {
for (let pattern of winPatterns) {
let pos1Val = boxes[pattern[0]].innerText;
let pos2Val = boxes[pattern[1]].innerText;
let pos3Val = boxes[pattern[2]].innerText;
if (pos1Val != "" && pos2Val != "" && pos3Val != "") {
if (pos1Val === pos2Val && pos2Val === pos3Val) {
showWinner(pos1Val);
return true;
}
}
}
};
newGameBtn.addEventListener("click", resetGame);
resetBtn.addEventListener("click", resetGame);

Did it too not so long time ago github.com/asmyshlyaev177/tic-tac-toe
Styles are very basic, but you can choose board size, e.g. 4x4 or 9x9.
Nice
